Because Ford don’t think it be like it is, but it do.

But seriously, dealers are pulling info out of their ass. Hybrids are getting built, but not at a pace that meets the demand.

But they are not getting delivered, no EPA numbers or ok to buy.

so i was told by my sales guy that no hybrids until spring. Emailed another local dealer and we just put in a 2nd order for me and he says he hopeful i will be in the maverick by the end of year

I ordered a Maverick XLT in June, like a lot of you. My email from Ford says my truck will be built in the week of October 4, which is this week. I emailed my dealership to see if they have heard anything and this is what I got back:

“I spoke with my rep yesterday and all of the Mavericks with the hybrid motor will be delayed until March.”

If this is true, why hasn’t Ford contacted me and why haven’t the changed the order info online? At this point, I am very frustrated.

Again…if you peruse the forums here, you’ll find several folk that have delivery dates added when they pull their VIN that werent there even last week.

So, the assumption, presently, is that the EPA will have finalized soon and Ford is anticipating the ok to sell.

Dealerships like to make things up.

Yeah, some are getting build, but waiting on EPA/OKTB, but they also aren't going to build thousands just to sit on lots somewhere, either. If anything, the ones being built are early builds to test the hybrid build process, but it is more likely they are expecting numbers and OKTB soon. Even I got an update on my FE Hybrid from my dealer that its now 'locked', as in "priority code less than 10"....

It hasn’t changed for weeks. Oct 4 build date.

My hybrid just went into production status this week. If I were you I'd check the tracker with your VIN and stop listening to your dealer. Some of them have proven to not be very knowledgeable. Imo

Hope isn't a very good strategy though.

Does it say "In Production" like this?

 

[clavicus]

Hybrids are being built (mine is, confirmed by Ford rep but tracker doesn’t show it) and they have started to give estimated delivery dates but it may be just an optimistic logistics estimate since EPA data is not official and hybrids are not to be sold to buyers yet. We don’t know for sure if they will actually ship now/soon or ship at a later date after it’s official. Possibly they may have to do some software updates or something so they are holding them at the plant? A lot of guesses all around.

True but way better than nothing has been scheduled or will be until spring
